Latest from the BBC: "France's sports minister says Liverpool fans without valid tickets caused the initial crowd problems at Saturday's Champions League final in Paris.

In 2021, Bet365 earned about 3 billion in revenue. Denise Coates 300 million salary is well within their means. Over 5 years, Haaland's contract is rumoured to be worth about 500 million. Between him and De Bruyne, that's their Premier League TV revenue gone for the next 5 years. I wonder how they w...

If fit he has to start in our last 2 games anyway, Spurs might require a more pragmatic approach, so he may fins himself coming off the bench there. He needs to start becasue it forces teams to defend a bit deeper. With Weghorst and Barnses up front, Spurs will be able to defend on the edge of OUR ...

It’s £375k a week to match KDB.

I'm sure that City's world-reknowned commercial department will have no trouble pulling off another sponsorship miracle to cover the cost.

McNeil was again our best player and biggest threat. His performances on the right have been better than any on the left all season. Problem is we lost Cornet and been forced to play the invisible Lennon out there. That's the issue. As well as McNeil plays on the right, we may as well play a shop d...

Sproggy

Don't play McNeil on the right, don't play Lennon/Vydra/Jay on the left and don't partner him upfront with someone even slower than he is.

Imagine going from Pep ball to Dyche ball. City fans would require counselling.

To be fair, they'd resorted to hoofball by the end.

Great result.

It was only a 6 month contract. He’s more than likely going to bigger things this summer now. Just a few CM signings for similarly sized teams: Are you new to the board NC93?

For everyone calling for Dyches head be careful what you cretins wish for. If we go down we have a host of out of contract players, and likely a fire sale of Pope, McNeil, Cornet and Weghorst to plug the financial hole we are already rumoured to be facing, and will definitely be in if relegated.

Do the players get fined if they string more than three passes together? Way too many hopeful % balls into the channels.

Dyche: "I'm not sure these know how to win a game, away from home particularly".

He was right.

But apparently there are no other managers around who’d be able to do a better job… ...and as we know, no players in the whole of world football who would improve us assuming they'd even want to come to play for us for 30k a week.

Fernando and Nasri were gash for City. Most of the others you mentioned have played their very best football under Pep. To be fair to him, in the subsequent seasons he's only spent £70,000,000, £150,000,000, £155,000,000 and £121,000,000 respectively so he's definitely having to rely on his coachin...

Sporting integrity.

Well done Will Smith. Top man. Hmmm. Not really. Unless you're happy for someone to punch you next time you say something they don't like.

Yeah, you're right. There's nobody in world football that would improve our midfield, who we could afford or who would lower themselves to play for 20k a week.

Sorba Thomas is definitely worth a cheeky bid, if they don’t go up.

We should have had a bid in for him about 3 minutes after the final whistle when he came off the bench to tear our left hand side a new one and win the game for them in the cup

A very honourable gesture if he’s true to his word.

He's doing it to avoid sanctions and to keep hold of 90% of his wealth.

He's not a philanthropist, he's a successful exponent of sports washing.
